This mineral\u00a0<strong>improves sleep quality, mood and concentration<\/strong> as well as maintaining a functioning immune system, by removing heavy metals such as lead and mercury from the body.<\/p>\n<p>Although it is essential, over 2 thousand million people worldwide are deficient in this mineral [1] and according to the World Health Organisation, 72% of people suffer from an iodine-related disorder.<\/p>\n<p>This mineral also\u00a0<em><strong>ensures efficient metabolism <\/strong><\/em>by\u00a0combining with an amino acid called tyrosine to make the thyroid hormones\u00a0T3, T4. Together, these hormones\u00a0regulate both cellular metabolism and energy production.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The thyroid gland\u00a0<\/strong>&#8211; which is\u00a0located in your throat &#8211; is\u00a0<em><strong>responsible for helping to control the growth and maturation of the human body<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>This mineral\u00a0increases thyroid output by\u00a0stimulating thyroid hormone production, but a lack of the mineral will lead to\u00a0a decrease, and subsequently a <strong>less than optimal metabolism. <\/strong>When this occurs, the clinical definition is<strong> hypothyroidism.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You only need a very small amount in your diet &#8211; around 150mcg per day although debate exists as to whether more is beneficial or harmful.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1532 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.testofuel.com\/tf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Seaweed-and-Thyroid.jpg\" alt=\"Seaweed-and-Thyroid\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.testofuel.com\/tf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Seaweed-and-Thyroid.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.testofuel.com\/tf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Seaweed-and-Thyroid-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.testofuel.com\/tf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Seaweed-and-Thyroid-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.testofuel.com\/tf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Seaweed-and-Thyroid-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div class=\"group infobox infobox-blue mtop20 mbottom20\">\n<p><strong>Key Point:<\/strong> Iodine is a chemical element mineral that supports sleep, mood and concentration. It is essential for proper thyroid function, metabolism and energy production.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>The Iodine and\u00a0Testosterone Relationship?<\/h2>\n<p>Studies have shown that T3\u00a0stimulates testosterone production in the Leydig cells &#8211; specific cells located in the testes that produce testosterone in the presence of a hormone called\u00a0luteinizing hormone (LH). Low levels of T3 contribute to low testosterone [2].<\/p>\n<p>One of the key points of interest here is that <em><strong>patients with clinical hypothyroidism also show low levels of testosterone. <\/strong><\/em>One of the key hormone changes that occur with a deficient thyroid gland is that of decreased gonodal function [3].<\/p>\n<p>A study in the journal\u00a0<em>Thyroid\u00a0<\/em>[3]\u00a0found that men with hypothyroidism have lower testosterone levels and\u00a0poor\u00a0responses to LH.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Not only that but prolactin &#8211; a hormone that blunts testosterone &#8211; becomes elevated and so does estradiol &#8211; a type of estrogen found in high levels in females<\/strong><\/em>. This can lead to the development of breast-like tissue in men referred to as &#8216;gynecomastia&#8217;, which is common in hypothyroid men.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, a study in the\u00a0<em>American Journal of Medicine <\/em>[4]<em>\u00a0<\/em>found that out of 8 men with hypothyroidism, 50% had low T levels, gonad function was poor in 5 of the 8 men,\u00a0and\u00a0all were impotent.<\/p>\n<p>The study concluded that <strong>abnormalities of gonadal function are common in men with primary hypothyroidism.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Importantly, research shows that all is not lost, and that<strong> T levels can be normalized once proper thyroid function resumes.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Iodine and Prostate Health<\/h2>\n<p>There are a number of thyroid receptors in the body. The prostate gland &#8211; a gland that secretes fluid that protects sperm &#8211; contains some of these receptors meaning that it requires iodine to complete its job properly.<\/p>\n<p>When the prostate doesn&#8217;t function effectively it can grow in size. This is referred to as<strong>\u00a0<em>benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) <\/em><\/strong>and\u00a0can lead to uncomfortable urination and increased risk of bladder infection.<\/p>\n<p>Studies have found that 3mg per day of iodine can\u00a0reduce the size of the prostate [5].<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1534 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.testofuel.com\/tf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Iodine-and-BPH.jpg\" alt=\"Iodine-and-BPH\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.testofuel.com\/tf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Iodine-and-BPH.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.testofuel.com\/tf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Iodine-and-BPH-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.testofuel.com\/tf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Iodine-and-BPH-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.testofuel.com\/tf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Iodine-and-BPH-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div class=\"group infobox infobox-blue mtop20 mbottom20\">\n<p><strong>Key Point: <\/strong>Iodine is important for optimizing T levels.
